Bannon Claims β€˜There Is a Plan’ for Trump to Run for a Third Term

It does seem like this should be a bigger story: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

I think it almost doesn't matter how "evil" one considers the White House--we all know it's supposed to be a SYMBOL of something benevolent and democratic. And he's literally taking a wrecking ball to it, with the stated intent of building something obviously more evil.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICEβ€”getting pepperballed and standing their groundβ€”and thought β€œthat’s awesome. That person is a hero”

A lot of the value of old books is in their historical and anthropological aspects. You get a perspective on being human from an old book that you just can’t get from a new release (regardless of how much you like the particular book!).

Kenvue, which owns Tylenol, is issuing mildly worded statements when they need to say β€œwe are going to sue you into the middle of next year.” There is no scientific basis whatsoever for people with zero medical expertise telling anybody to not take Tylenol, cut and dried interference-with-commerce

The best thing about the ABC/Disney boycott is that zero point zero percent of participants are involved because they love Jimmy Kimmel so much and really want him back on television because's so funny and great.

It's a movement of pure political principle.

A poem titled: A Call for Civility

It is God’s perfect law
that the chick must apologize
to the fox that clutches its body
in its teeth
for the farmer’s snare
set at the burrow covered in blood and feathers
the fox was sure no one would ever find.

Poetry is legal

We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel.

The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040.

Henry James would have shot himself if he knew he would one day be lumped in with the above-mentioned names, but we lump him right in there, which shows that we ourselves are intellectually unserious when we talk about "literary fiction" as a distinct category

One reason people still go on about "professor sleeping with student" plots as a metonymy for complaining about literary fiction as a whole is because complaining about literary fiction as a whole would come off as primarily sexist and secondarily racist in 2025.

As someone who’s been a Democrat for only six weeks, I think this is such an important point. We’re either a big tent, or we aren’t. And if we are a big tent, that means progressives unite around a moderate nominee, and moderates unite around a progressive nominee. Period.πŸ‘‡

The only thing to understand about the pronoun thing is that just because something is outside of your lived experience doesn’t mean it’s not real or the person telling you is mistaken or you are being inconvenienced

Supreme Court decisions should have to be unanimous. What if juries were like, well, seven of us thought the dude was guilty and five thought he was innocent, so to the electric chair with him!

I appeared in my high school’s production of this show. Still think it might be the best farce ever written for the stage.
